Now you can add the wonderfully named RoomotrureTit to the list of those to delete. Can't the repeated use of the same name be stopped, or has this functionality gone the way of all the other features?

phpBB3 offers that functionality... Which could have been installed ages ago... Perhaps set up a phpBB3 forum to check its functionality, then migrate this phpBB2 board, that has an EoL of ions ago, to the new forum There even is a migration tool available for the early 3.x series (from 2.x), dunno if it's still available now it has reached version 3.6 (and up)....

Another forum I admin on uses more steps in the registration process with multiple easy to answer questions. Questions are changed every few months. People get past them to spam, but bots get caught. We've found that most spammers get accounts set up months beforehand, then post a ton of posts to accounts all over the place.

Most of the people I ban are posting to unused accounts set up 6 months or more ago, before we started trapping bots with the questions.
